Description

The strainers are usually supplied in one of four materials: iron, carbon steel, bronze, or stainless steel. Iron is used most often because it costs the least, and has good corrosion resistance in many services. Carbon steel is used where higher temperatures, or concern with thermal or mechanical shock is an issue, which makes them popular in the oil and petrochemical industries. Bronze handles thermal and mechanical shock better than iron, and is better in some corrosive applications, but is limited in temperature range. Stainless steel is needed where corrosion could be an issue, and is widely used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

We are provided with a variety of end connections, including threaded, flanged, and welded. Standard screens are provided for either steam service or WOG (water, oil, gas) service, but other screens are available on request.
